|
|
Sergei Golubchik reported that MySQL imposes no restrictions on the
|
|
specification of "DATA DIRECTORY" or "INDEX DIRECTORY" in SQL "CREATE
|
|
TABLE" statements.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An authenticated remote attacker could create MyISAM tables, specifying
|
|
DATA or INDEX directories that contain future table files by other
|
|
database users, or existing table files in the MySQL data directory,
|
|
gaining access to those tables.
|
|
</p>

</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/mysql-5.0.60-r1"</code>
